PROFESSOR LIEBIG'S 

 REPORT ON ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. 



NOTICES OF PART I. 

 AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY. 



This work has already acquired great reputation in Great 

 Britain, and several notices and reviews of it have appeared 

 in the foreign journals, all of which unite in expressing their 

 high estimation of its contents. Three lectures have been 

 recently delivered on Agriculture at Oxford by Dr. Daubeny, 

 the distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Botany, in which 

 he has illustrated and adopted Professor Liebig's views. 



** Every page contains a mass of information. I would 

 earnestly advise all practical men, and all interested in culti- 

 vation, to have recourse to the book itself The subject is 

 vastly important, and we cannot estimate how much may be 

 added to the produce of our fields by proceeding on correct 

 principles." — Loudon's Gardener^ s Magazine for March, 

 1841. 



In alluding to this work, before the British Association for 

 the Advancement of Science, Dr. Gregory remarked ; — 



** Every thing was simply and clearly explained. It was 

 the first attempt to apply the newly created science of 

 Organic Chemistry to Agriculture. In his opinion, from 

 this day might be dated a new era in the art, from the prin- 

 ciples established by Professor Liebig. He was of opinion, 

 that the British Association had just reason to be proud of 

 such a work, as originating in their recommendation."

 Meeting of the Royal Society, November 30, 1840, when 

 one of the Copley medals was awarded to Professor Liebig, 

 in presenting which, the President, the Marquis of Northamp- 

 ton, thus addressed Professor Daniell, who, in the absence 

 of Professor Liebig, received for him the medal ; —
